This reminds me of Rick's secret pooping spot in Rick and Morty

+1 from me one but even with 'just' english I was surprised at the amount and quality of stuff in my area.

Why not play it even safer with an overhead projector?

What makes it more complicated is that regulatory authorities across different countries have varying views on what is considered 'acceptable'. As mentioned in the Harvard example from the article. This could mean that both animal and non animal testing will be required for the forceable future to satisfy both sets of views until there is sufficient alignment from the 'big' regulators imo.

Don’t know why I never thought about it but apparently using your competitor’s trademark. Chrome in this case, is okay for comparative advertising.

I only noticed now because recently I have been wanting to incorporate the logos of tech publications on my website that have genuinely reviewed my product but apparently doing so isn’t without risk.

Oh my word, have a look at the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the level of detail.

Now imagine you’re the manufacturer and this is the spec you have to meet. Of course, they will have tolerances but still this is incredible. I wonder what the accepted rejection rate is?

I'm also curious how Apple handles surface roughness? The dimensions only give you part of the picture.

To be fair I omitted some key information. The 'dirty raw ingredient' mixed in room-temperature purified water wasn't sterilisable. The same process but mixed in 60°C purified water was sterilisable.

Well played k1ko :D

What would you consider as great?

> Clues for future search of extremophile microbial life on Mars

That paragraph is pretty extraordinary with what is being claimed.

Crazy to think that anything could survive 25 kGy.

A great read from the author. It reminded me of my previous life as a bioprocess engineer, where I led investigations into biologically contaminated batches in biotech. It was fun stuff and I still remember some of the best advice I received from an Executive Vice President to never underestimate a microbe.

On this subject, I once led an investigation in which Bacillus cereus somehow survived in situ media sterilisation for 30 minutes and >121.1°C, despite there being no cold spots. At the end we realised it was the bioburden load of a media component and water temperature used during compounding.

I’ve had a very similar experience to what has been described.

A few additional elements from my experience:

- Trust within the team meaning the required competence and delivering on time.

- Team size.

- Team empowerment, imo the most important one. If the team doesn’t feel empowered for whatever reason, this will bring most of the things listed in the article to a halt.

Yikes that's embarrassing. Thanks for pointing this out and as you can see some good ol human error ;)

Head tracking is not precise enough from my experimentation. ScrollPods provides a scrolling experience on par to that of a trackpad/mouse in my opinion. Also give horizontal scrolling a try which is turning your head left and right to scroll down/up. The best way to describe it is surprisingly natural. Happy to hear any feedback whether it's constructive or positive.

Because of Spatial Audio. Give it a try, you will be positively surprised. Especially on scrolling via turning your head horizontally. On the problem you described I implemented a gesture called pause. Meaning if your head exceeds the degrees you have specified it will pause ScrollPods automatically.

Fair comment. It’s a macOS app that lets you scroll hands-free with your Apple headphones (AirPods Gen 3+, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max) by gently nodding your head up or down. You can also set it up to scroll by moving your head right or left. I also strongly agree with your final comment, as I have a lot to share about what it’s like using ScrollPods day to day and the convenience that comes with this. Like sipping an iced coffee with right hand instead of scrolling or sitting 1 meter away from my desk to stretch my legs while reading a presentation. Thanks for reminding me and I will prioritise this in my next blog post.

Because your title mentions EC, I just learned it’s the EC that approves the market authorisation. I always thought it was the EMA but apparently this is “just” a recommendation and in some cases the EC and EMA disagree.

Thank you! With the perception of maturity within HCI, there is a resistance to look at these fundamental building blocks. Instead, they are often taken as fact based on consensus, even though they absolutely can and should be challenged.

My take on the bias toward the “latest craze” is that it's probably a result of finite attention spans, as well as a fear of falling behind, which leaves little space for fundamental concepts.

A good example for ScrollPods was to support scrolling only through up/down head movements initially but many users asked for left/right head turns to map to vertical scrolling as well. Once implemented, the horizontal axis felt much more natural and less tiring. Thinking about it deeper, this makes perfect sense from a biological and anatomical perspective. I mean humans would probably be way more concerned with an ambush from a predator from the side or behind rather than above which shows in our peripheral vision for horizontal versus vertical visual field.

Let me try again with a tl;dr.

You can’t scroll in one window and type in another window at the exact same time. Your hand has to stop typing on the keyboard, move to the mouse and then scroll. There are many cases where a user would want to scroll and type at the exact same time without needing to keep switching back and forth between the keyboard and mouse. I then describe a solution to this problem. I hope this is clearer.

I think this is a reasonable approach especially on the traceability and thus accountability side. I think if this is successful within Estonia, global buy-in would be next.

Always impressive to see the Estonian approach.

One of my favourite words in engineering is resourcefulness.

For simplification, you need to make a Spaghetti Bolognese for 4 people.

Person A gets $10, Person B gets $100.

Person A is forced to be resourceful, look around and do a lot of thinking. Person B can be wasteful and still be in budget.

Reality Nowadays: Person B would contract this out to Person C, who would subcontract to Person D and suddenly there is a huge scope creep and $100 is not enough.

Great catch! I always check whether company Y has the right details about me. If they don’t, I automatically delete and report it. If they do, I let my guard down. Even though it seems so obvious after reading your post, it never occurred to me that company Y might also be compromised to this level. Also, catching something this sneaky would require a lot more entropy than most people would be willing to expend. I wonder what the response from Booking will be for this long-term?

Not sure how this closes the gap to Anthropic and OpenAI for xAI. Is there a play that I am overlooking?

If this acquisition goes through the only winner here is Cursor, especially since CC and Codex are chipping away at Cursor very hard!

Interesting read, especially as it relates to the product, I'm currently developing. My theories are twofold on this besides what the researchers mention.

For digital content, could this be because our brain deems digital content as lower "value". You consume both high value and low value digital content in the exact same way giving your brain a harder time to understand what is high value and low value, maybe the brain takes a conservative approach on digital content being low value unless proven otherwise. Whereas for physical books your brain attaches a higher value to this and thus you're more alert, maybe?

The second element is the difference in time between turning pages versus swiping on a tablet. Do these extra seconds give your brain more time to digest the information from the previous page(s)? This reminds me of a conversation, I recently had with a friend how TV shows 20 years ago were much more memorable. You watched just 1 episode a week from your favourite show with ads compared to binge watching a show with no ads nowadays. Our theory was that this gives your brain the time to process and digest the new information better.

I'm not from the US but I would think something like this would go directly against the 1st amendment?

Also in general if you're on the losing end of a "fair" vote I assume a decent person would look within themselves to see why they lost, instead of creating a false alternative reality.

I understand someone not wanting to pay more tax but this is straight up villainous.
